It's weird because blocking some miracles from being used and not others would be kind of dumb in a lore capacity, but at the same time, I really don't think any kind of phantom should be able to restore their health in any way whatsoever, short of equipped gear that might have a regenerating effect.Dark 2 originally let you use Lifegems and Estus iirc, but they turned it off with a patch around the time the PC version released. Dark 1 has healing with humanities and both let you use miracles.

I think Miracles are a perfectly acceptable way to heal in PvP. they have a much longer animation making it far easier to get interrupted than estus or lifegems.

The idea is that the really really long windup and cooldown on healing spells makes it fair, but you could really argue that Dark Souls never had an interest in being competitively fair. Only Dark 2 is taking strides in that direction due to player feedback, and they're doing a pretty poor job.

So I just finished playing Mirror's Edge again on PS3. Finished on normal, did not use guns on enemies. Those last three chapters are still dogshit. Most of my other thoughts on that game still stand after all these years, though as time goes on I find myself more frustrated with the no gun approach and how limited that game's combat is.
Please look forward to the future when I make my own first person parkour game that makes this look like amateur work.
Mirrors edge is one of those games were I say that its a great and bad game at the same time.
Hahaha oh my god, that Dark Souls part ended so perfectly.
Well I don't disagree in the sense of like arena PVP, but I'm talking about invasions and so on, things that involve you crossing into another world and not simply meeting eachother equally in an arena.I think Miracles are a perfectly acceptable way to heal in PvP. they have a much longer animation making it far easier to get interrupted than estus or lifegems.

Pretty much. I love it, and it speaks volumes that I remember it many years after the fact and that I want to make a game based around its concept.Mirrors edge is one of those games were I say that its a great and bad game at the same time.
But it's got so many faults at the same time that I have to be super critical about it.
God the end of that last DS2 vid was fucking classic xD
The silence right before Pat losing it is what really got me.

Mix between using disarm or kicking them in the balls to stun them, followed by a three hit combo. It's all still terrible because while you don't have to defeat all enemies in every scenario to proceed, you're better off taking them out as a beeline to the nearest exit almost doesn't work.
I never used the disarm because I just suck at timing things. I just ran at them and jump kicked them, then crouch attack to standing attack. Usually took them out super quick. Plus if you jump at them from a higher ground it's an insta-knock down. There's shit you can do the game never tells you about

Eh, personally I'd say it's a great game with some minor frustrating bits.

This. It reminded me of Alpha Protocol's system of choosing the tone you wanted to speak to someone with rather than an actual dialogue, which screwed me over at times when Thorton would say something I didn't want.Noire's Lie/Doubt/Truth system is too ambiguous.
A traditional dialog tree would have been more preferable.
I'm actually playing through that game right now, and that system is really bullshitty 90% of the time. People will make the most sketchy ass faces after saying something, but then it will be like "nah they told the truth"Noire's Lie/Doubt/Truth system is too ambiguous.
Btw I have no idea how far I am in the game, all I know is that I had to download some free DLC nonsense in order to continue.
Oh jeez. Should be interesting.nope. Prequel/Reboot if that makes any fucking sense.

Woolie eating shit while going down a snowy slope just sounds like something that would happen in real life.
The worst part of that moment is that that's exactly what I thought to do as well. I wouldn't have even thought about it, I would have just gone down.

Oh my god, I hate when games have different text listed as your selection and then when you select it your character says something wholly different.
Telltale games do that sometimes. Mass Effect too.

I understand why when it's a big line and they have to simplify it for UI purposes, but when it's a short line and it's different for no reason I call bullshit.

I wasn't sure myself, so I ignored that option. I figured it could've been that, but I think people were just unfamilar with the term, obviously. I know they wanna make short statements you can choose so that you can read each quickly and reply, but the ambiguity doesn't help when these games give you time limits on your answers.
At least with Mass Effect I can watch the characters do the modern BioWare shuffle while I consider my choices, so I don't know why I can't read the whole damn dialogue.
